Melton: Rhythms & Purposes of Jewish Living: The Core Courses

view options Rhythms of Jewish Living
Jewish life moves to a powerful rhythm—through holidays, rituals, and life’s milestones. In this 30-lesson journey, explore the practices that shape Jewish identity and community across time. Go beyond the what and how to uncover the deeper why behind traditions that bring meaning, connection, and continuity to Jewish living.
Instructor: Talya Gorsetman
Purposes of Jewish Living
Why do Jews believe what they believe? What does Judaism say about life’s biggest questions—God, purpose, suffering, justice, and more? This thought-provoking course dives into ancient wisdom and modern insight to explore the core ideas of Jewish theology. Engage with bold questions and timeless answers as you uncover what gives Jewish life meaning—then and now.
 Instructor: Judy Stolovitz
Why take the courses together?
Because Jewish life is more than ritual or belief—it's the powerful interplay between the two.
By studying both the how and the why of Jewish living, you’ll:
  • Discover how rituals are grounded in profound theological ideas.
  • See how beliefs are lived out through sacred time and communal practice.
  • Gain a fuller, more integrated understanding of what gives Jewish life its enduring meaning and relevance.
Whether you're deepening your Jewish journey or just beginning, this dual-course experience will help you live more intentionally—rooted in tradition, guided by purpose.
We are pleased to offer a reduced fee for the combined option of Rhythms of Jewish Living and Purposes of Jewish Living.
